How pathetic are some of these comments. It is very clear as to WHO on this thread is actually experienced and knowledgable about the intricacies of turntable subject matter, compared to those "wanna be experts" who merely tout the brand(s) they most likely already own. To you inconsequential loud mouths, please disappear and do not highjack the discussion with uninformed nonsense that merely bolsters your feeble egos.
Reference System TT - Dr. Feickert Analogue or Sota
Putting together a reference system.
Recent equipment purchase:
Linear Audio Zotl 40 power amp
Don Sach's pream & phono pre
Spatial Audio Lab X5 (open baffle speakers)
Seeking input for a turntable/tonearm/cart upgrade to complete the sysytem. Narrowed TT choices to Dr. Feickert Analogue (Woodpecker or Blackbird) or Sota Nova VI? Tonearm being considered: Kuzma Stabi S12, Thomas Shick, Wand Master. Cart: Kiseki Purle Heart NS SB, Koetsu Rosewood, less expensive choices - Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC Star ES, Sumiko Starling, dependent on TT/tonearm choice. I currently have and have had for a number of years, a VPI Scout & Benz Micro L2 cart & an ASUSA Tube Phono-Pre (it is kit).
Listening preference 70-80's R&B, jazz (traditional & contemporary), soft rock infrequent but listen to most music genries at some point.
Hopefully, there'll be those familiar with the noted TT's, tonearms and carts to provide input. Finding audio dealers in my area to audition the equipment choices I'm considering is a big challenge, if not impossible. This is my first steps from mid-fi into high-end equipment. Respect the discussions of fellow audio lovers. Your input, insights and experiences input is greatly appreciated.
Still Bill

jym, Why did it take you 16 months to notice this thread and then get so pissed off? Also, not sure who pissed you off, the pro-SOTA guys or the somewhat less pro-SOTA guys. Next time you are gonna get so furious, be more specific. Two of the responders, Chakster and Millercarbon, are long gone from this forum. so your vitriol is wasted on them at least. |
@lewm , Not on me though. I obviously have no idea what I am talking about and I have a big mouth. I also love pissing people off particularly LP12 junkies. |
